Orlando

What you need to know before you go

    Orlando is one of the world’s most visitor-friendly cities, thanks to its unrivalled collection of theme parks, its sun-drenched climate, and a bustling Downtown area. Family attractions indeed steal the limelight, but there’s a world of other possibilities in this Floridian city. If you’re looking for diverse shopping options, engaging nightlife, or exciting day trips to enjoy pristine nature – from the fascinating wetlands of the Everglades to some of the finest beaches on the Atlantic coast – then you’ll find it all here. Locals in Orlando are also famously friendly sorts, which you’ll no doubt experience for yourself when out and about in the city. 

    Welcoming millions of visitors every year, both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando® pack in an entire trip's worth of fun on their own. Just some of the experiences waiting for you include meeting and greeting legendary characters, getting the blood pumping on high-octane rollercoasters, and allowing yourself to be whisked away to imaginative new lands – it’s a touch of whimsy mixed with unmistakable Americana. But it would be a mistake to overlook Orlando's other activities because the rest of 'The City Beautiful' is full of similar family-friendly attractions like waterparks, giant aquariums and zoos, exciting shows, airboat tours around swamps, and golfing opportunities. Discover all of this, and much more, in our guide to Orlando!
